on top of longterm destruction, gas prices in the midwest could go up by 20 cents/gallon, and most of this oil is actually going to be shipped to Asia.
Guess who's benefiting from this? You could say the 50 people who get to keep their jobs once this is built... but really the only ones benefiting from this are the oil companies.

Where is all this long term destruction you keep talking about? There is a higher potential for a train to derail with oil on it, oh wait it just happened last week in West Virginia a train carrying 3 million gallons of crude oil derailed.
It's the same mentality the Liberals have when it comes to protecting and maintaining our forests. There is so much dead wood, grass and vegetation that needs to be cleared but they won't allow anyone to touch it even if it means one lightening strike could burn it all down. To many trees competing for water well you can figure out the rest.
There is always some unimaginable disaster looming only if the Liberals could see the forest through the trees.
